Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a rash for three years. It has started small but now it has really been bothering me.

Please help.

Answered by Dr. Dilip Kumar Meena

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It looks like you have pityriasis versicolor, a superficial fungal infection (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Take the following medications:

  1. Tablet Fluconazole 400 mg one tablet today and then take another after a week.
  2. Use Ketoconazole 2 % shampoo as a body wash. Apply it on rash at the time of bath, leave it for five minutes and rinse. Do this every other day for a month.
  3. It might take 1 to 2 months for the rash to subside.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
